Introduction to Home Education, Nathan Pierce & John McGowan
Making the decision to educate at home is only the first of many decisions. This session lists the options, defines them, and offers criteria for deciding which one is right for your family. This is the perfect opportunity to investigate home education with no cost or obligation. (Although registration is required for admission to all parts of the Convention, there is no charge for this Mini-Con).

Community & Homeschooling, Angela Lasch
Is community important? What are my options? Angela will help guide you in this very important component of starting your homeschool journey.
